An Slow & Economical Vogue To Hang Window Treatments

In my concluding post, I showed you lot my son's room.  Today I wanted to part amongst you lot how I hung his window treatments-the quick, cheap, together with slow way.  For years nosotros convey had the valance amongst solely the blinds, but convey needed to add together some panels to assistance block out the intense morn Sun that this window gets.

First of all, for the valance, I had metallic stars that I shout upward were meant to last candle holders (maybe?).  They had a hole inwards the middle together with I knew I wanted to purpose them to hang the valance.  I glued a dowel that stand upward for inwards the hole- wrapping some stuff only about the cease for a tighter fit- together with used a dowel screw inwards the other cease of the dowel rod.  

I glued a wooden plug to the front end side of the star to comprehend the dowel rod together with add together some color.  Then, the dowel tin last screwed correct into the wall.  An anchor may last needed if you lot practise non convey a stud inwards the wall where you lot desire the slice to go.

When I made the valance I sewed some ribbon along the top, together with used that ribbon to only necktie over the dowel rods.

I used this same method for my dining room panels inwards the past, but amongst some Christmas ornaments to brand a medallion type hanger.

Really, you lot tin brand anything that has a apartment location inwards the dorsum into a hanger for window treatments using a dowel rod together with dowel screw.  The sky's the limit!

Since the valance was roofing the exceed of the drape panels, I knew it didn't affair what the rod looked like.  I used a length of sturdy plumbing pipage cutting to size, hung it amongst some sometime brackets, together with used some random telephone clips to hang the panels.  None of this shows together with then it didn't demand to last pretty or expensive.  

There are no finials on the ends of the rod, together with then I got all fancy together with hot glued a slice of a pigment stick to the ends to deed every bit a stopper.  Simple!

   

So, this picayune window makeover terms me $12-the terms of the panels!  Everything else was works life from shopping my solid together with garage.
